Please make sure your student(s) get plenty of sleep and eat a good breakfast each morning of the test; encourage them to do their best. We ask that you have your children here in school during this time of testing. If you have questions, feel free to contact your child's STARS teacher, or call the school at 885-5208.

Spring Break will begin Monday, March 30 and students will return to school on Monday, April 6. May you have a wonderful spring break!

Thank you for the opportunity to teach you child, and for your support.

What's Happening

Be CLASSY! PROGRAM TRAVELS to JAPAN For the last 20 years, middle school students from Kawaba, Japan have visited Star Valley. This summer the mayor of Kawaba traveled to Star Valley to plant a friendship tree at Star Valley Middle School. "It was a great experience," said SVMS Principal Kem Cazier. "We were excited for the tree, and the relationship back and forth." While in Star Valley, the mayor learned about the Be CLASSY! program at SVMS. He took the program information back to his community where he is excited to implement it in the school. At some point in the future, Mr. Cazier will travel to Kawaba to help get the Be CLASSY! program up and running.
